For those who have been thinking of opening a franchise or buying one but are concerned that they need more information, the Michigan Small Business Development Center will be hosting a class on franchising.
The Franchising and the American Dream class will cover the pros and cons of owning your own business and how franchising provides the support and structure to help business owners succeed.
It also will provide an overview of the franchise industry and the steps prospective franchisees should take to determine if a franchise is a good fit for their business, lifestyle, and financial goals.
Growth opportunities and funding options for business ownership all are part of the class taught by Audrey Randall, President of Paradigm Franchise Group, a franchise consulting firm.
The Franchising and the American Dream class will take place from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m, Thursday, Feb. 4., at the Haworth College of Business at WMU. The class fee is $15 and is open to the public.
